WILLIAM J. HISS, JIL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR T0 DIAMOND EXPANSION BOLT COMPANY, A CORPORATION OFNEW YORK,

CABLE-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 21, 1909.

Application filed October 9, 1905. Serial No. 281,933.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, lVILL AM Hiss, Jr., of the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented a certain new and useful Imapplied to a cable; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the hanger detached; and Fig. 3 shows a modification.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hanger consists of a metal clip 1 preferably formed of wire bent upon itself to form a substantially closed loop 17 with the ends of the loop crossing at point 2 and bent back upon themselves as shown at 3 and at respectively. The end 4 is bent back to form a closed eye 8 within which is lirmly secured a suspender cord consisting preferably of tarred marline, though leather woven wirc cable or any other suitable material may be used. This cord is preferably doubled and the ends secured in any suitable manner as by a knot (5. The other end 3 of the clip may form an open hook 7.

To apply the hanger to a cable the double loops of the suspender cord are passed around the cable 10 and the clip with that portion oi the cord 16 held within the closed eye 8 is passed through the loop 11 of a suspender cord as shown in Fig. 1. The guy wire 9 is then passed through thc opening between the ad acent bent portions of the clip indicated at 2, the final step on applying the device being to slip the double strands 16 of the suspender cord into the open hook 7. By the employment of this hanger a firm connection is made between the cable and the guy wire and one which cannot he accidentally broken. This-is particularly true,.sinco as the weight of the cable boars down upon the suspcnder cord it exerts a lateral pressure on the two ends of the clip which causes the hook 7 and eye 8 to approach each other, thereby closing the opening between the bent portions of the clip and preventing the hanger from being accidentally detached from the guy wire. The hanger may also be conveniently supplied to the lineman in the form shown in Fig.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the clip is formed with securing means in the form of two closed eyes 12 and 13 and a piece of wire or cord is passed through the eye 13 and a'portion 15 of this wire wound around the eye so as to provide the free ends 14 and 18 which may be passed through the eye 12 and secured around the cable in an obvious manner.

Having described this invention in connection with the diflerent illustrative embodiments mentioned, to the details of which I do not desire to be limited, what I claim as new and what I desire to secure by Let ters Patent is set forth in the appended claims. i 1. A cable hanger consisting of a wire clip bent upon itself to form a loop, the ends of said clip being extended past their crossing point and bent back upon themselves to form a cooperative eye and hook and a suspendercord passing through said eye and forming a loop.

2. A cable hanger consisting of a metal clip forming a loop, the ends of said clip forming a coliperative eye and hook and a susponder passing through said eye and forming a loop.

A cable hanger consisting of a clip forming a loop having cooperative securing means on the ends of the same and a sus ponder permanently engaging said securing means.

4. A cable hanger consisting of a metal clip having a closed loop on one end, securing means comprising an open hook on'the cooperating end of said clip, and a sus ponder passing through said closed loop and adapted to engage said securing means.

A cable hanger consisting of a inctal clip forming a loop, the ends of said clip forming a cooperating eye and hook and a suspender to cooperate with the eye and hook ot' the clip.
